Taking up a New Bearing
 
This News Page has altered course and taken up a new direction after been "unsure of position" over recent months trying to deal with the local - as in Archerfield news - and the international aviation news scene
 
With so much aviation based activity occurring world-wide pressure has been exerted on the News Desk to record some of the more interesting aspects outside of the Archerfield based news normally featured within these pages
 
To introduce you, the reader, to this change of direction for new news gathering by the AirCentre News Desk - how about this following tit-bit on two guys in the USA trying to make a name for themselves in the movie industry by utilizing a DC-10 in an aviation based 'drama/comedy' theme

Titled just 405 - it is featured as "a story of the wrong guy - in the wrong place - at the wrong time"
 
The short 7.9K movie is about a heavy declaring an emergency and landing on an almost deserted freeway (#405) in down town Los Angeles
 
News reports (The Age Melbourne) mention:-

The people who run American Airlines just don't seem to see the humour in a DC-10 jumbo jet - more specifically an American DC-10 - landing atop a Jeep on a Los Angeles freeway
and...
The three-minute film was made for $US400 ($A690) plus their home computers - store-bought software - a borrowed car and an 80-year-old actress - has become one of the all-time top-rated videos distributed via the Internet
